I am a freelance reporter and writer focused on entrepreneurship, small business, workplace issues, personal finance, healthcare and logistics. I previously worked as a staff reporter for Dow Jones Newswires, The Associated Press and other news organizations.
Early in my journalism career, I covered politics and government – reporting on Congress and generally making good use of my University of Texas at Austin liberal arts degree.
Over the years, my work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and on Entrepreneur.com, CNBC.com, FastCompany.com and CreditCards.com, among other outlets.
My coverage of a variety of issues, from medicine to supply chains to startups, enables me to see connections between seemingly disparate moving parts in business, the economy and the policymaking arena.
I love to hear and write about innovative entrepreneurs, what drives them, how they got where they are, and where they’re headed.

Apologies, while potentially effective, are not a cure-all and not all the same. In fact, a poorly delivered apology can be worse than none at all, a study involving Uber riders found. One key finding: money talks. An apology delivered with a perk like a coupon appears to be the most effective.

Boosting corporate R&D produces an unintended consequence: employees leaving to start their own ventures, which enjoy an advantage in attracting investors, new research finds. The startups may focus on projects ultimately dropped by the former employer.
